Welcome from Carolyn Hay
Hi, I’m Carolyn Hay (but you can call me Cal). I’ve been working in the marketing department of Yamaha Motor Canada since January 2004. My main focus at work is developing the creative behind the company’s brochures and point-of-sale materials.
I like working at Yamaha because I feel like I’m part of something I believe in. Not only do I get to work in the motorcycle industry, but it’s one of my treasured hobbies. I feel very fortunate that I have combined the two.
I recently rode my first bike home for the first time – my very own 2007 YZF-R6 (in dark-grey). I’ve wanted an R6 for seven years now!
Ever since I bought it, I’ve been wearing a grin ear to ear every day! Now I’m counting down the days until April when the roads clear and I can launch into my first full season season with my R6!
My hobbies include anything that burns gas. I grew up around classic muscle cars, the drag track and car shows. When I discovered motorcycles (in 2000), it was just an addition to my other moto-passions.
I am blogging in this space to share my personal stories of motorcycling, including great roads I’ve found and my bike “firsts.” I hope to hear back from you, about your own biking adventures!

Hi Cal.
just a note to tell you that I am a rider with severe spinal athritis and I used to drive a 650 custom and last year I bought the V-Star 1300 and I must say that Yamaha got everything right for this bike. The handling is superb and easy to handle in traffic and follows the open road like no other. I used to own a wing and I even find it better riding and handling.
Thanks Yamaha for the freedom

Hi Jim, thanks for stopping by the Yamaha Bike Blog. Great to hear you are out exploring and enjoying life on your V-Star 1300. Here’s hoping spring shows up before we know it! Take care, Cal
